Step 7 - Take Manual Hits on the Top of Each Port

For the LSPX1C / HR-X (HR-X1-P) Probe Changer, after you complete the first two manual hits on the front of the first and last ports, PC-DMIS prompts you to take a hit on the top left side of each port. This starts with the first port. The hit should be near the front of the port but far enough back to avoid any tapered corner.

The set of hits establishes the location of each port. When you are done taking hits, the system goes into DCC mode and measures a series of hits required to accurately locate and orient the rack. It works from the last port toward the first port.

The prompt for the hit on the top surface of port 1 is:
